Michael they were not sent down, they had to re apply for membership, remember when their mates tried to get them in to the SPL, and it failed, then they tried Div 1 and it failed because the other teams with decorum and sporting integrity stood up and were counted. Their bluenosed mates at the SFA then gave them a "Temporary" membership (which is not listed in SFA Rules as a known membership type, special rule made up just for them ) and they were taken in to div3 which was lucky for them as most new teams do not get automatic access to this...newco Rangers have not been penalised by beginning life in the Third Division: indeed, no other completely new club would have been allowed to enter the bottom tier. Their failure to have the oldco's membership share transferred was not a punitive measure. Have you forgot about "A conditional membership being issued to Sevco Scotland Ltd , allowing them to play in the Ramsdens Cup tie against Brechin City.



Best and most telling part of the article is "that the entity formerly known as Rangers Football Club plc on the brink of being granted an UNPRECEDENTED temporary membership of the organisation."

They didn't get relagated tho..it was a new club they start at the bottom and work way up to top...dunno why anyone would think different when that's the truth...

they got punished and sent down to the third division -relegation is a myth -just like saying that they died

I'm just gonna go ahead and say keyword 'HISTORY'
